Cataclysm what happened stories: dialogue random NPCs can give you about what they think happened in the cataclysm.
- Should be available to all random NPCs.
- Coupled with background stories these should start creating some personality for NPC's
- NPC's with generic background stories should have a number of options for what CWH they get assigned so they're not all the same.
- NPC's with more specific backgrounds should get a single specific CWH. Ideally each of those NPC's should be a single instance in the world, at least until one dies.
"This is gonna sound ridiculous, but when I was a kid I played a video game series that was almost the same as this. Portal storms, alien monsters, zombies... I kinda wonder if it's a coincidence. I guess it must be."
- What game was that? (HL-copyright-joke)
- How would that explain what happened? (HL-CWH-2)
"Ooooh, nice try clever boy, but I'm not going to test fair use laws by randomly mentioning major video game franchises. Lawyers are the last thing we need with everything else going on."
- That doesn't... What even... Nevermind (talk_none)
"No, I know. It's just what my brain keeps going back to. Scientists going too far in secret government labs, causing portal storms. It's funny how close it is but I'm sure real life isn't going to imitate art that closely. I guess I just can't think of anything more reasonable with that stuck in my head, you know?"
